Week 2 is harder to decipher than week 1. The teams you thought were good but lost, you are unsure about. The teams you thought suck, but won you are unsure about. And then there are the teams playing each other. And the Panthers. Discuss.


REASONS NOT TO BET
Buffalo at Miami (-2.5/48.5), PRIME Thursday night game, Allen hand, Tyreek drama

Sunday early
N.Y. Giants at Washington (-1.5/43.5), FOX Both teams aren't good.
New Orleans at Dallas (-6.5/45.5), FOX 1 of these teams is a fraud, maybe 2.
Tampa Bay at Detroit (-7/51.5), FOX Both of these teams may be pretty good.
Indianapolis (-3/40.5) at Green Bay, FOX Love hurt, but the Colts on the road outdoors?
N.Y. Jets (-3.5/40.5) at Tennessee, CBS Hard to trust either of these teams, Jets on a short week, Rodgers looks old.
San Francisco (-6/45.5) at Minnesota, CBS Niners travel on short week, what if Darnold IS better?
Seattle (-3.5/37.5) at New England, FOX Geno Smith v. Jacoby Brissett, who ya got?
L.A. Chargers (-6.5/38.5) at Carolina, CBS Maybe THIS is the week Bryce "locks in" (just kidding).
Cleveland at Jacksonville (-3/41.5), CBS HOT SEAT BOWL!!!
L.A. Raiders at Baltimore (-9.5/41.5), CBS Eliminate the turnovers and the Raiders would have beaten the Chargers. Baltimore rusty after 10 days off.

Sunday late
L.A. Rams at Arizona (-1.5/49.5), FOX Hard to trust either QB.
Pittsburgh (-3/36.5) at Denver, CBS If Wilson starts, all bets are off.
Cincinnati at Kansas City (-6/47.5), CBS Burrow plays well against the Chiefs.

Sunday night
Chicago at Houston (-6.5/45.5), NBC A lotta points to give an undefeated team!

Monday night
Atlanta at Philadelphia (-6.5/47.5), ESPN Philadelphia might have caught something in Brazil.

Hopefully the Aints won't be camping out in Big D after Francine. (Hope they fly out early too because this thing is supposed to hit tomorrow.)

Gustav was wide left too and caused enough havoc in NOLA.

L.A. Raiders, hahaha

 

[MileHigh]

L.A. Raiders, hahaha

Eh, it's only been 30 years.

The O/U's don't indicate a lot of scoring fun.

 

[DanOregon]

Fun fact: of the three sons of HCs serving as staffers on NFL teams all are sons of AFC West coaches - but Jay Harbaugh coaches ST for Seattle.
Mayo's brother works as a Strength coach for NE
Callahan's dad is the OL coach in Tennessee.

But scads of other offspring of former HCs.

I kind of suspect nepotism hires in the NFL would be worse, but most of the HCs don't have kids that can even drive yet.

L.A. Raiders, hahaha

JFC. I was really distracted when making this post yesterday, but that's still ridiculous. D'oh.

 

[HanSenSE]

Are the Dolphins this bad?

 

[poindexter]

That two minute drill to end the half was frigging atrocious.

 

[Starman]

Well, that was terrible.

 

[justgladtobehere]

Wow. The Patriots are going to win the division.

 

[Junkie]

Hawk Tua.

 

[Scout]

At least Miami got to wear the cool uniforms tonight.

 

[Scout]

Hawk Tua.

Gotta spit on that thang.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Tua needs to walk away. Go to ESPN broadcasting school or start a podcast or go into coaching.

 

[justgladtobehere]

SVP is doing a lot on Tua's concussion. Van Pelt still needs to be tased, but the focus on the issue is interesting.

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

Well the good news is Amazon added the very qualified (at carrying the NFL's water) Albert Breer to its broadcasting crew tonight. [/blue font]

 

[Batman]

Tua by the end of this season:

 

[DanOregon]

That game was such a narrative changer. Heard a lot about how the Bills' window was closed. Not closed. And the division runs through Buffalo now.
